Budget per date = activity + meal + transportation and extras. Monthly budget = dates per month × budget per date. Annual budget = monthly budget × 12.

What the result means

The total is a planning allowance based on a consistent monthly schedule.

Actual spending may vary by season, special occasions, and shared-cost arrangements.

Given: two dates per month, $40 for an activity, $70 for a meal, and $20 for transportation and extras. Calculation: $40 + $70 + $20 = $130 per date; 2 × $130 × 12 = $3,120. Result: the annual plan is $3,120.

Can costs be split between two people?

Enter only the share paid from the budget you are planning, or enter the full shared cost for a household total.

What should count as extras?

Parking, babysitting, tips, small gifts, or other per-date expenses can be grouped here.

How do I plan for anniversaries?

Add the expected annual premium to a monthly average or temporarily increase the per-date amounts.

Can I use zero-cost dates?

Yes. Lower the activity or meal fields to zero while keeping any transportation cost.

Why calculate annually?

An annual view makes recurring leisure spending easier to compare with savings and household goals.
